How Tara’s approaches work in online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and building on a person's strengths. Sessions focus on the client's goals and the therapist follows the client's lead to help uncover resources and next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical techniques to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can help with anxiety, panic, OCD symptoms, and mood concerns. Narrative Therapy helps people reframe their life stories, separating problems from identity so they can try different ways of acting and thinking.

Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then try methods that match those needs. If a strategy is not helpful, she will adjust the plan so it fits the person better.

Online therapy offers flexibility and a range of ways to connect. Video calls allow more face-to-face interaction for longer sessions. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be a simpler option for short check-ins. Live chat or text-based messaging works well for ongoing support, quick check-ins, or when someone prefers typing to talking. These formats make it easier to schedule therapy around work, caregiving, and daily life while using the chosen therapeutic methods.
